SECURING MEANS FOR HEELS.

Application filed March 14, 1922.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARTIN PANIAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Eveleth, in the county of St. Louis and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Securing Means for Heels, of which the following is a specification.

This invention aims to provide a novel staple which is so constructed that it may be driven conveniently.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows in bottom plan, a heel adapted to be held in place by the device forming the subject matter of the invention; Figure 2 is a section on the line 22 of Figure 1 Figure 3 is a. sectional view showing the auxiliary heel mounted on a main heel; Figure 4 is an elevation of the securing element or staple; Figure 5 is an elevation wherein the securing element is viewed edgewise; and Figure 6 is a perspective view showing a portion of the tool whereby the staple is driven.

The drawings show an auxiliary heel 1, which, preferably, is made from rubber, the ground-engaging surface of t-he heel 1 being provided with bosses 2 and the upper surface of the heel 1 bein supplied with depressions alined with the bosses 2. In the bosses 2 and in the heel 1, elongated .seats 4 are fashioned. There are spaced reduced openings 5 1n the heel 1, the openings extending throu h the heel, and being located at the bases 0 the seats 4,

The auxiliary heel 1 is adapted to be secured on a main heel 15 through the instrumentality of staples, each including legs 6 connected by a bridge-7, the bridge having a longitudinal seat 8, and being provided with a transverse seat 9 intersecting the seat 8. 1

For the driving of the staple, there is provided a tool as shown in Figure 6, the

tool including a body 10 having alongitudinal rib 11 at one end, and having, also, a transverse rib 12. The longitudinal rib 11 of the tool is received in the longitudinal seat 8 of the bridge 6 of the staple, and the transverse rib 12 of the tool is received in the transverse seat 9 of the bridge of the the staple. The rib 11 and the corresponding seat 8 cooperates to prevent the tool from slipping transversely of the bridge 7 of the staple, the transverse rib 12' and the corresponding seat 9 eoacting to prevent the tool from slipping longitudinally of the'bridge of the fiaple.

In practical operation, the legs 6 of the staple areinserted into the openings 5, the staple being driven into the main heel 15, as 00 indicated Figure 3, the bridge 7 being received in the seat 4. When the staple is driven home, the depressions 3 are flattened out, as shown in Figure 3, and the seats .4 are closed, as indicated at 14:, the ground-engaging surface of the auxiliary heel 1 then being smooth as shown in Figure 3.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A staple including legs and a bridge connecting the legs, the bridge being provided on its outer' surface with a grooved longitudinal seat.

2. A. staple including legs and a bridge connecting the legs, the bridge having a grooved longitudinal seat, and being provided with a grooved transverse seat intersecting the first specified seat.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

MARTIN PANIAN.
